They believe this discovery will lead to improvements in the optical detectors used in a wide range of technologies, from cell phones to cameras and fiber optics, as well as in solar cells.</p> Tue, 04 Aug 2020 21:45:40 +0000 amelia.souffrant@mail.mcgill.ca 231942 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/innovative-birds-are-less-vulnerable-extinction-321475 <p>Bird species that have the capacity to express novel foraging behaviors are less vulnerable to extinction than species that do not, according to a collaborative study involving 黑料不打烊 University and CREAF Barcelona and published today in <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41559-020-1168-8"><i>Nature Ecology & Evolution</i></a>.</p> Mon, 06 Apr 2020 14:18:33 +0000 katherine.gombay@mcgill.ca 206856 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/perpetual-predator-prey-population-cycles-303632 <p>How can predators coexist with their prey over long periods without the predators completely depleting the resource that keeps them alive? Experiments performed over a period of 10 years by researchers from 黑料不打烊 University and the Universities of Oldenburg and Potsdam have now confirmed that regular oscillations in predator-prey populations can persist over very long periods</p> Wed, 18 Dec 2019 16:10:27 +0000 katherine.gombay@mcgill.ca 191327 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/scientists-identify-key-knowledge-gaps-sustainability-research-302005 <p>The loss of biodiversity continues at an alarming rate despite decades of research and international policies setting out clear goals in the area. In an article published this week in Nature Sustainability, an international team of scientists including researchers from 黑料不打烊 identified seven key areas for future research in order to tackle, effectively, the root causes of the problem.</p> Fri, 25 Oct 2019 12:54:52 +0000 amelia.souffrant@mail.mcgill.ca 188096 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/creating-attraction-between-molecules-deep-periodic-table-293643 <p>Imagine a waterproof computer. It鈥檚 not going to happen tomorrow, but it may no longer be a pipedream since a 黑料不打烊-led international research team has shown for the first time that it is possible to form strong, stable attractions between some of the heavier elements in the periodic table.</p> Tue, 22 Jan 2019 15:08:15 +0000 katherine.gombay@mcgill.ca 134668 at /newsroom
